Time Strategies

Ancient clock


As usual, I have been trying to start my last blog for this week, but because I procrastinate so much I never ended up doing it. I feel like I always keep saying (I'll do it tomorrow morning), knowing very well that I am actually not a morning person!😂. Anyways.... I am doing it again, moving away from the main topic. *facepalm*

Today I will be talking about the time management which is ironic for me as I have been procrastinating before doing this blog. We were given multiple articles to choose from and read at least 2 of them to help us manage our time and keep our head on track with college work.

Even though it is only the 2nd week of semester, we already have plenty of things to do, whether it is a tasks or labs. I've already found myself overthinking and feeling pressured to be able to submit the work on time. I also find it hard to stick to my planned timetable for this specific module that I created last week because there are tasks that kept coming.

The articles that I read was: 


1. Were the articles useful?

Yes. I really found the articles that I read very helpful because I know what I needed for this semester (which is to overcome my procrastination). It also made me reflect and realize how many excuses I put to avoid doing the work. Caroline Webb's article was right, because I always find myself choosing easier tasks.

2. Did you learn anything new that you can try this semester?

I took notes while I was reading the articles and most of it are just simple advices but have a strong impact in me:


"Something is better than nothing"

"The most important key is to commit and stick with it regularly"

"Missing deadlines for no good reason, is really no good reason"

"Work for your future, not just for an immediate impact"

"Instead of thinking PRACTICE, change it to PREPARATION"


Whenever I read this it gives me an energy to start my work and even though I only did small tasks, I still appreciate it and think about it in a positive way.

3. Do you already have a time management strategy?

Yes! I actually have a strategy that helps me to feel motivated to do my tasks and it is also in one of the ways that can beat procrastination: Pre-commit Publicly. I will always try to tell my friends what I will try to accomplished and do during this week and it always work! I also like being surrounded with hard working people because it inspires me to work harder as well. That's why I am still not used to work at home as I always study with my friends or go to cafes or library wherever there's people who do some work.

I also remember reading about some advice from the articles saying: 'Tie the first step to a treat" which is my most favorite advice of all 😂. That makes me think that I could make my Korean Drama as a treat after finishing hard tasks and even thinking about it at this moment, it lit a fire inside me making me feel motivated to just finish all my tasks for today so I can watch my Korean dramas (some are still pending waiting for me to finish them 😂😂).


Park Bo Gum being cute hihi😍💖

Introduction to a future Animator 😁

If you've been reading my blog post since the day I started, you have read my first introduction. However, I haven't really talked about myself. So in this post, I will along with questions from the tasks we have given. 😁 My photo from last year First of all my name is Flosie Jane Sazon, I am currently a 2nd-year student studying Creative Digital Media at the  Technological University of Dublin located in Blanchardstown Campus. I'm 20 years old (even though I don't look my age 😂) and I have been living in Ireland since I was 13. This course wasn't actually my first choice even though I love art. My first choice was something about business and language which was way different from what I'm doing now, but I'm really happy that I'm doing what I love. Even though there were a lot of times convincing my parents but everything went well in the end.😂😂 What was the best class you took last semester? why? Even though I enjoyed Web Development and Design Proc

Game Idea Research

Maze  Inspiration Last week, I started to collect some game ideas and talk about what we like about them. However this week, we have to choose on out of all the game ideas we picked. The game that I decided to do is similar to "Roller Splat!" but in 3D instead because that is the type of game we are learning in Unity. I think that it will be helpful as I can utilize the skills that I learned from the tutorials to my project instead of studying another type of game. I will have more time to develop my game better if I stick to 3D style as well. Choosing this type of game is also a good starter, especially for people who want to make a game for the first time like me. My game will also be played in a first person point of view means that the camera of will be placed at the back following the ball inside the maze. While doing my secondary research, I find countless of game tutorials on YouTube that are related to the idea I am going for. Most of them are also made in Unity which

Exploring Game Design

Inspiration image about discovering new things We started this week's tasks by reading articles about defining what a game is to a more detail and in depth explanations.  I used to define "game" as one or multiple players who works together to complete certain tasks with a set of rules that they must follow whether they win or lose. However if I put more thoughts into it, the definition gets more profound and brings me more in depth about what a game truly is. As I read though the first article that was talking about particular definitions of what a game is depending on how much interaction they have with it. For example, the more interest they have about games the more knowledge they can share with people. There is an interpretation from the article that I like based on a book called "Rules of Play" by Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman. They explained that games are a "system in which players engage in an artificial, defined by rules, that results in a quanti
